I'll protect you, Avra, so don't worry. If she tries anything... Oh, who am I kidding? I'm blind and crippled! I can't do anything...
It was the worst feeling in the world. The inability to do anything.
His heart raced when a breeze kicked the scent up into his nostrils. He let go, giving his mind away. He couldn't tell whatever happened after he did this, only that he felt lighter and a little less scared.
Something had definitely changed inside of him. He already knew that he could probably never return.

Eleia squealed with delight. "Good! Good! I should go get one for this delightful girl." She got up. "Now, when you finish you'll feel like you can do anything, but you can't. Got that? You can't, or I will find you. No pulling any sillies." She then grinned and kissed the boy's cheek. "Be right back!" She got up and ran out.

Avraella tried to move something, anything, even a finger would be nice, but couldn't. Marq... what's going on? What are you doing? What's she talking about? The only thing she could do was breathe, and even that was proving difficult.

Marq could move a lot better now, but he still felt stiff. He never felt stiff.
He could feel himself open his eyes, but he...he couldn't see out of them. It was like someone had turned the lights off and pulled the shades down on them.
"Avra, where are you? I'm gonna crawl over to you so that woman can't do anything weird to you," he called softly, crawling on the ground, brushing his hands around him like Velma looking for her glasses right before the monster gives them to her. He thought he heard breathing somewhere near by, and was able to pinpoint it. Odd.
He felt around for her and accidently scratched her face near her ear.
"Sorry," he mumbled. After a couple minutes of fumbling around her limp body, he was able to hold her awkwardly.

[MoonlitxMidnight]

Avraella felt Marq take her in his arms. She would of smiled if, one, should could have, or two, if the situation hadn't been so scary. What does she want me to eat? What did you eat? Avraella asked.

Eleia came back with a pre-teen boy. "I'm sorry, it was all I could get!" She giggled, staring at Marq and Avraella. She giggled again. "You are too cute! But, sadly Marq, the only way for her to live through this is if she eats some of this. Since you ate you, you'll live, but the moment the sun reaches here, which will be in, oh, an hour or so, she'll burst into flames and rot. Unless you let her eat, of course." She grinned mercilessly. "You want her to live, don't you?"

[correlate.]

I have no idea what I ate. I was like a zombie when that happened, Marq replied.
"Will you burn and rot?" he asked, feeling weird that he couldn't actually see th woman, but could sort of 'see' her because of how good his hearing was. "No, I don't want her to die. What sort of sick person would want that to happen?"
It really sucked, not being able to see.
What if it's not temporary? What if I'm permanently blind as a bat? The thought was scary, and Marq banished it to the darkest part of his mind. But a trace of it still lingered and he shivered.
"Whatever you're giving her, it better be the best damn thing there is."

[MoonlitxMidnight]

Eleia laughed, "It's good." She promised and did the same thing to Avraella that she did to Marq, but Avraella was less stubborn about it. "You'll be my best friends." She whispered, watching with delight as Avraella drank. "And no, I will not burn and rot. I drank enough not to do that." She giggled.

Avraella finally let it click. Marq, I think I'm drinking human blood... Her thoughts were much clearer now, and the mental bond between them was stronger.

[correlate.]

Marq snarled at her, something he'd never done before. He was always quiet and nearly unphasable.
Then the thought Avra sent sunk in. Sunk in hard.
He thought of the possibility. He couldn't remember anything, but it was entirely possible since Avra was 'mentally strong' and could probably gain control of herself easier. If they were drinking blood, that meant...
Oh God almighty. They were bloody vampires! Afraid of crosses and garlic, honest to God vampires!
"I can't believe this. You want best friends, so you kill two sophomores?! Go kill an ax-murderer in a prison! Or someone whose nearly dead! What's wrong with you?!" His rage made his blood boil and his head sting.

[MoonlitxMidnight]

Eleia giggled, "They wouldn't be fun! Plus, you need someone strong, young and healthy in order for them to live." She said. "But don't worry! You get used to it! Promise!" She said.

Avraella trembled. I don't like this. She thought weakly.

[correlate.]

Marq clenched his teeth angrily. "What if I have the measles? What if I have a terminal illness?"
He just wanted to see the woman in front of him. He would've given his soul to see anything; a cat, a tomato, or a pile of cow crap. Anything.
"Of course you don't like it, Avra, because no likes being an undead bloodsucker. No one likes being snatched from the street and having their humanity torn from them." He didn't realize that he'd said this aloud until he heard the echo of his voice on the walls.
"Hey, is someone back there?" a girl's voice called.
Oh no.

[MoonlitxMidnight]

Eleia whirled around. No one's here! On your way! She hissed into the female's mind. "You will get used to it, cutie." She said to Marq. "You should be able to see soon, when the blood gets around your body." She cooed. "By tonight you will be moving around and speaking and seeing. Avrael should be able by midnight. You will be stronger in the night, without the sun interrupting you."
